Jealousy

Aside from Yur, both Julian and Xia stared at Velmira in stunned silence, each with their own thoughts.

She's unbelievably beautiful…!

How can someone be this powerful?

Their minds raced, shocked at Velmira's sudden appearance. Xia, who was considered a peerless beauty throughout Freau and neighboring kingdoms, instantly felt overshadowed. Comparing herself to Velmira felt like comparing an ugly duckling to a graceful swan.

Julian's reaction was different—cold sweat appeared on his forehead. She appeared without me noticing! 

He was an experienced cultivator who could normally sense even the faintest breath of a mortal. Yet Velmira had appeared like a ghost, without triggering even his slightest perception.

"Velmira, take a seat," Yur called out casually, completely unfazed. He'd known she was close by; after all, he had summoned her himself.
